Hello.
We have been using Citrix to present desktops to clients for about 3 years now. We have several group policy objects that are in used based on the container that users are in. In these GPOs we do things like restrict control panel access, access to the registry, remove common program group, etc. We also run login scripts that map particular drives and copy down some ini files and run a process that reads keys into the local HKCU based on an extract that we do on logout (to save user settings).
This all works well in Citrix.
We are testing a VMware View 3.1.2 implementation.
Using similar GPOs (though brand new, as the test environment is in its own new domain), we are able to restrict the desktop, copy the ini files down, read the values out of the registry on log out, read values into the registry on login and map network drives.
About 50% of the time, the login process works without a hitch. The users map the drive letters, the registry entries get read in (we can see this using a verbose command) and the world is golden.
The other 50% of the time, it looks like the GPO is not read in. I re enabled access to the start menu and access to the command prompt and even when the GPOs are not applied, gpresult shows that the correct GPOs are applied and in the correct order.
We are using a mandatory profile for standard login.
Any thoughts on why the login scripts don't run sometimes?
The client machines are VMs of Windows XP Pro spk3, 32 bit.. The servers are 64 bit Windows 2003, SPK2, Using GPMC to modify GPOs.
I can a attach HTML outputs of the GPOs and text of the login scripts if required.
